See, I just knew that the twice-or-three-times-as-expensive Epsons would be suggested! Not that you're wrong about them, just that I am "resource challenged" at present... (What about Canonscan scanners? Anyone use 'em?) While pondering flatbed scanners that will also do 35mm transparencies, I ha

Greetings, I have also considered piezography, however it is questionable whether it would work with my epson 875dc. My prints are generally quite smallish, no bigger than 6x9 and I have great results with the epson ink sets. There are plenty of users who find fault with the Epson 870/1270 i

TBH these dual-use flatbeds are still better for opaque material than transparency use, especially 35mm. They all use sensor elements at the moment that have about half the claimed optical resolution, and use half-steps and image processing to make up the difference. So they are still inferio
